From October 2nd to 5th, the town of Vieira do Minho was filled with animation, hosting thousands of visitors for the Municipal Festivals, which included concerts, gastronomy, folklore, and the traditional Ethnographic Parade. The strong public presence, especially during the evening concerts, transformed the town center into a major meeting point.
The musical program featured performances by Deejay Telio, Vizinhos, Zé Amaro, and Toy, drawing crowds of various age groups and demonstrating a commitment to diverse offerings that maintain a connection to the festival's identity and roots.
Beyond the concerts, the fair highlighted local traditions, showcasing the Garrano (a type of horse), bull-ox races, regional gastronomy, agricultural products, folklore, concertinas, philharmonic bands, and the Ethnographic Parade. The LADRA +JOVEM initiative aimed to engage younger generations with this cultural event.
The event also served as a reunion point for families, friends, and many residents of Vieira do Minho who return to the municipality during this period. The high public turnout confirmed the Feira da Ladra as a highlight of Vieira do Minho's calendar, celebrating the municipality's identity by balancing tradition with the attraction of new audiences.
The Municipality of Vieira do Minho expressed gratitude to all who contributed to the edition's success, including the population, associations, cultural groups, artists, merchants, stallholders, security forces, and municipal workers.
